1. Increased carbon sequestration of actively restored tropical forests in Sabah, Malaysia : a comparison of natural regeneration and active restoration
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : As restoration with assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting becomes a more important and popular method to restore ecosystem services and mitigate negative climate effects, these treatments and their effectiveness is heavily debated. There are three main groups of opinions regarding restoration, one is that humans actively need to help nature recover and the second is that nature itself does a better job without our help and the third is somewhere in between.

2. Above- and belowground carbon stocks and effects of enrichment planting in a tropical secondary lowland dipterocarp rainforest
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : The intact tropical rainforests are rapidly being degraded and subsequently converted to other land uses, with associated greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. It is imperative that the effects of such conversions and large-scale restoration efforts on forest structure and ecosystem services are understood to effectively be able to counteract the negative consequences of deforestation and forest degradation.

3. Restoration of degraded tropical rainforests through gap and line planting : effects on soil and light conditions and seedling performance
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Enrichment plantings are a common way to restore structures and diversity lost through degradation of tropical rainforests. Large areas are degraded every year, and although disturbance over large areas seldom are homogenous, few, if any studies have compared effects of enrichment planting treatments in forests with varying degradation.

4. Degradation and restoration method interact to affect the performance of planted seedlings in tropical rainforest restoration : evidence from plant functional traits
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : A common action to improve or save biodiversity in the tropics is restoration of degraded rainforest. To understand the complex ecological structures of the forest and adapt the restoration actions after them, studies have focused on characterizing species with functional traits. READ MORE

5. Restoring biodiversity in degraded secondary rain forest in Sabah, Malaysia : natural regeneration of trees after restoration treatments
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Many tropical rain forests has been lost or degraded as a result of human activities and environmental factors. Since the level of biodiversity is high in the tropics, maintaining these areas is of great importance. Forests like these are often assumed to benefit from forest restoration and rehabilitation.
